Things right now aren't too frugal around here. Even though I prepared ahead of time for my surgery, I was prepared for 2 weeks of recovery time not the nearly 6 months that we are now expecting due to the complications.
When I got home from the hospital, my father in law offered to pay a housekeeper to come in and keep the house maintained while I recover, a good thing with a tornado living here (dd 5)
I contacted my pastor for someone from the church whom I could trust (even though I have been there almost a year, I still don't know a lot of people there He gave me a family in need, the husband had been laid off and she will be coming the first time on Thursday. DD will also enjoy this because as of next week she will be bringing her daughter and mine will love the playtime.
Last night, after a funeral at church, my pastor also dropped off TWO huge grocery bags full of already cooked food for us, granted it was leftover from a funeral, but it will make my life lots easier.
I have always had a horrendous time accepting help even when I needed it, but this has been a learning experience as I truly can't do as much as I was expecting and I am going to learn to accept help from people who offer it.
